This month’s inspiring mom is Kendra, a five-year member of the Blaine, MN franchise.

Last fall, Kendra was dealing with her husband’s stunning diagnosis of brain cancer when her stepfather died three weeks after learning he had pancreatic cancer. Kendra continues to make time to run because she knows it’s important to her health and wellbeing. She will serve as a volunteer coach for Blaine in spring/summer 2016 and continues to inspire her teammates, who commend her amazing weight loss journey, positive attitude, courageous coaching and contagious kindness.

​“The fact that Kendra is able to keep her head up, keep running and keep smiling (most of the time) is a testament to her strength, faith, family and friendships,” says a teammate.
